Although this hack works, and may suffice for now - one problem is that it
is not thread safe ( g_ascii_strtoll is thread safe ) . One option may be to
backport a version of g_ascii_strtoll from a later glib as a proper
solution. If I get a chance I'll review that code.

For now, I am putting away a copy of this change into CVS however it really
isn't the most ideal solution (unless you are running without threads)
